Hey nicky!! How r you doin!!?? So glad to see you around almost done with my consults already freaking out how was it? Would love to know! My best wishes for you!

7 more days!!

ALMOST @ THE BEGINNING,

My best wishes and prayers are with you on the beginning of your post-op journey . Its hard to put into words what you are about to go through. Its very empowering, sometimes overwhelming, but in the end worth ever single thing you have and will go through.

My tips would be the normal ones you will hear;

1) Walk as much as possible in and after the hospital during the early weeks . in fact walk, you butt off , it truly makes a difference in healing and gas pain right after surgery. ( get a good pair of sneakers , you'll need them and it makes a difference is you have comfortable footwear)

2) be prepared for the return home , stock up on fluids, protien, Vitamins, band-aids, rent movies, and all of the others items your surgical team recommended . you will not want to get out much during the early weeks except to walk and you may be tired after that .

3) set yourself a schedule , walking eating , fluids ... its sucks but if you start off on the right foot it becomes second nature quickly.

4) if something doesn't feel right call your surgical team, there are no stupid or silly question, they want you to be healthy and successful that's what they are there for.

5) Hydrate constantly, try to get all of your protien in,

The rest you will learn as you go, if you need advise or support just ask we are all here for you

Best Regards
